Questions about famous people from Eskasoni 3
Who counts as from Eskasoni 3?
A birth counts when Wikidata puts it inside Eskasoni 3’s reserve lands (the reserve’s 2021 census subdivision), a hospital or district there included, and the person’s English or French Wikipedia article agrees. Those who only moved here are not on the list, and neither are adult performers or people famous mainly for crimes.
Why is someone missing?
The likeliest reasons: a birthplace recorded only as a province or as Canada, a hamlet or rural area with no page of its own, or an article that gives another place or none. Fixing Wikidata or Wikipedia brings them onto the list at the next refresh, as long as the two then agree.
Birthplaces, descriptions, years, occupations and the count of Wikipedia and sister-site articles come from Wikidata (CC0). Each birthplace is checked against the person’s English Wikipedia article, or the French one where English says nothing or has no article; the articles are linked, never quoted. Wikidata’s Statistics Canada code, the place’s name or its point inside the 2021 census outline puts a birth in a town, and a birth given only as a split city stays on that city’s page. Fields are read from the description and occupations, and the list runs by number of articles. “The usual town” is everyone listed across Canadian towns.
